Georgia Football Coach Kirby Smart Explains Key To Beating Florida Gators

When Georgia plays Florida this Saturday, expect a chippy and physical ball game.

Kirby Smart, while meeting with the media this week ahead of the annual World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, explained what it will take for the Dawgs to return home to Athens as champions.

“You’ve got to be able to tackle and knock-back tackle, and create advantageous down-and-distance situations, and that will be the key to this game,” Smart said. “Can we cover them outside, and can we tackle their backs.”

Creating 3rd down and longs for Florida’s offense will be huge for the Georgia defense.
